In today's news, I've redone my Fondriest once again into a light gravel / cx bike. This was an early 2000's frame that was made for 700x23c. It could barely fit a 25.
I replaced the front fork with a CX fork and now have a 38c on the front.
For the rear, I ground out the upper carbon seatstay fork and it now fits a 30c. I will probably grind it more and carbon fiber relaminate the rear fork/rear brake area to take a 32. That's about all the lower chainstay will handle.
It's a lot of work to make something that won't work as well as a new gravel bike, but wth? It's a fun process!
But who cares... Time to watch Space X!
